Hey. I was under the impression that a butcher butchering was not supposed to give that butcher the "witnessed death" unhappy thought, but I have a game in which this is occuring. Is that right?

(Toady: If it isn't supposed to happen, I have a save file of right before when the butcher kills a mule if you are interested.)

Nah, fixing that is still on to-do.  For now, massive PTSD and eventual insanity.

Or a butcher who is used to tragedy, and doesn't care about much of anything.

I had to go through a few butchers, but I finally found one who couldn't be bothered even if I told him to start butchering the other dwarves (now if I could just do that...)

So could butcher shops be a way to strengthen your soldiers resistance to friends death ?

[Genuine]

I've found that a good way around this for the moment is to set a rather large number of dwarves to the 'Butcher' job (at least 10-20 or so). This helps to spread out the unhappy feelings from the death among a group of dwarves, rather than just relying on one dwarf to take it and eventually go insane.
